Super Coach

The goalkeeper is really a very, very special position, which is very different from the players in other positions on the court, because no matter how many players are in other positions, there will always be only one goalkeeper, and only the goalkeeper can use his hand.

When many people talk about the goalkeeper, they always refer to Buffon of Inter Milan, Casillas of Real Madrid, Reina of Liverpool, Cech of Chelsea, or Kane, who has retired. In statistics, these goalkeepers are among the best.

But is it because they are the strongest?

Not necessarily!

Friedel, Schwarzer, Jasklinen, Given, Frey, Cesar ...,

There is a group of goalkeepers who are not famous, but in the field of professional coaches, they may even get more praise than these so-called top goalkeepers, and the reason why their reputation is not necessarily from strength, but also There is a very important place, chance!

If Diego Luis Pace stays in Real Madrid and does not go to Villarreal, then no one will ever admit his strength, even if Di Palma's evaluation of his body template is even higher than Casillas. .

A goalkeeper with a near-perfect body and outstanding goalkeeping skills, Diego Lopez has lived in the shadow of Casillas for so long that he has missed the years when the goalkeeper has improved the most, if not a transfer Villarreal, everyone's impression of him is only Casillas' substitute, and there will be no other.

But now, even Manchester United are looking at him!

Casillas rarely sat on the bench at the Bernabeu Stadium. In the first round of the Kings Cup against Mallorca, Antonio Adan performed very well. The captain of the Spanish national youth team has recently gained more After the game opportunity, the performance is getting better and better, and the progress is more and more obvious.

Professional players are like this. Only in formal games can we maximize the potential and status of players, Anthony. ． ． Adan is playing West Division B and does not need to show his strength. Today, he is completely sent out when he competes with so many top players.

While in Antonio, Adan was highly acclaimed, Casillas suffered the worst trough in his career. Since he replaced Ilgna to obtain the starting qualification of Real Madrid, he has hardly sat in the Bernabeu. Off the bench, especially if he is not injured or sick.

1.90 meters, the typical goalkeeper height, 21 years old, still in rapid progress and improvement, need more professional games to accumulate rich experience, and then quickly improve their strength, Antonio, Adan after coming to the first team , And the players on the back line also cooperate well, even daring to communicate with them more actively than Casillas, and even command them.

The outstanding reflex nerve and flexible body, despite the tall and strong body, brought him the advantage of high confrontation, but the slow speed made him only able to make up for the shortcomings in this area with more predictability and sense of position, Antonio , Adan's progress in this area is very obvious.

Di Palma once jokingly said in training, whether it is Diego Lupas or Antonio, Adan, on the basis of not losing to Casillas, even better than Casillas.

This sentence made Casillas particularly impressed!

They are all Spanish goalkeepers, and they all have the typical characteristics of Spanish goalkeepers, that is, the small restricted area is super, the large restricted area is amateur. When Reina first arrived in Liverpool, the small restricted area goalkeeping technology is nothing to say, but the big restricted area will not work, and In connection with Spain's advocacy for ground coordination, the Spanish goalkeeper has certain flaws when dealing with high balls.

But the same flaw, Anthony, who is 6 cm taller than Casillas. ． ． Adan, there must be an advantage.

Let ’s just say that Casillas has, for example, excellent responsiveness, continuous rescue ability, Adan and Diego, Lopez have, he is most respected by everyone is that after he is Buffon, A rare goalkeeper who did not save the dead end, at this point, Adan is also not bad.

Everyone knows that the striker is staring at the goalkeeper, and he desperately wants to hit the goalkeeper's dead end. If there is no specific corner, almost all forwards will play the half-height and above on the left side of the goal. Why?

As long as you think about it, a goalkeeper with a right hand and a right foot makes a flick to the left. How likely is the right hand to save the ball, that is almost a fatal flaw for all right-footed goalkeepers.

In this game, A Coruña made several shots on the left, but Adan kept the ball steady again and again. The reason is very simple. Like Casillas, he is left-handed!

Sitting on the bench at the Bernabeu Stadium, Casillas' eyes always involuntarily swept the head coach standing in front of him. He was a little bit sullen in his heart, but he was also very clear that Yang Cheng did it right, yes His own reasons led to the current situation. Even if it was really because of this, Antonio and Adan took the main position, and he can't blame anyone.

It reminded him of a goalkeeper whom he respected very much, a goalkeeper who has rarely been mentioned by the media, Igna!

Now the fans are talking about German goalkeepers. The opening is Kahn, Lehman, Schumacher and Kopke, but I rarely hear the name of Real Madrid's former main goal **** Igna.

That ’s right, playing for Cologne for a long time is not a top team and has little reputation. Although he helped Germany get the World Cup for 90 years, he is also the youngest champion goalkeeper in World Cup history and the first in World Cup history. Goalkeeper who missed the ball in the final.

But in 1994, because of the fallout with Vogts, Igna, who was very personal, chose to retire from the national team at the age of 27, and then was the rise of Kopk, Kahn and others. Before that, Kopk was Iraq. Ergner's iron bench, Kahn is still a piece of green jade.

Leaving the German national team, Igna switched to Real Madrid, Capello's hand-picked trade, and he also used a near-perfect season to help Real Madrid win the league title, and later Heinx to move to Canizares Two top goalkeepers and Ilgna made a decision to play a league and a cup. In the end, Canizares became the hero of Real Madrid to win the Champions League again, and Ilgna was once again invisible to others.

After the +8099 season, Real Madrid's performance was not very satisfactory, especially in the midfield and backcourt, which caused the team to throw too many goals. The main goalkeeper Ilgner has also received a lot of controversy, which made him suffocated. , Want to prove himself again in the 99/00 season, but unexpectedly, a serious injury prevented him.

The story after is that everyone knows a history of the rise of a legendary goalkeeper!

Igna was seriously injured, and the second goalkeeper Pisari collapsed under pressure, but there was also news that he was reprimanded by coach Tosac, and then Casillas came to the top. Since then, Real Madrid ’s goal line has stood It has always been this young player who is not tall, and his excellent performance has also made Igna completely lose his place after the injury.

Manchester United was about to dig up the corner of Igna, but the annual salary between the two sides could not be discussed. Otherwise, Ferguson's optimism about Igna, the German goalkeeper will not be guaranteed to regroup at Manchester United.

At this moment, sitting on the bench, Casillas couldn't help but asked in his heart, "When Bodo sat on the bench and looked at me, when he played for him, did he feel the same in his heart? Am I the same now? "

At that time, Casillas followed behind Igna's **** and stole the teacher during training; now it is Antonio, Adan followed behind Casillas' butt, and also steals and learns during training. How is this situation similar to everything in those days?

What is wrong is that Casillas replaced Igna, and now he is replaced!

Igna was 32 years old at the golden peak of a goalkeeper. Now Casillas is 27 years old and is also entering the golden age.

"Will I be replaced?" Casillas had this idea for the first time.

Although he quickly put this kind of thought behind him, because he felt it was impossible, no one could replace him with his performance and status in Real Madrid for so many years, and his position in the hearts of fans , At least not for a short time.

But he felt in his heart that there is nothing impossible in this world!

What did he replace Ilgona back then?

Isn't the head coach supporting, and then playing down one game after another, and then conquer the fans with performance?

If Antonio and Adan perform better than themselves, coupled with the support of the head coach, who can guarantee that things will not repeat again?

Fans are forgetful. In their view, the team ’s interests are higher than their own. Whoever performs well should play. As long as Adan performs better than Casillas, why ca n’t he play the main role?

It has been 7 years. Since Igna was frustrated and announced his retirement, Casillas has never felt the pressure of this competition at this moment. This pressure makes him even It's a bit strange, and a little bit unsuitable, because he has been used to it for so many years, regardless of his performance, he can start his treatment.

Raul, Guti, Carlos, Hierro, Redondo ... Each teammate left, took the bench and even went to the stands. Only he was standing firmly in front of Real Madrid ’s goal, but this time, He really felt a pressure.

Will I be replaced?

Although without Captain Casillas, the captain's armband was worn on Ramos's shoulder, this was not the first time Ramos wore the captain's armband, and he also completed the task well, leading the team at the Bernabeu Stadium , 6: 0 slain A Coruña.

Anthony's house. ． ． As a starting goalkeeper, Adan's performance has once again been recognized by all fans. In this game, he has saved at least two threatening scoring opportunities and multiple shots in La Coruna. His outstanding performance has been recognized by his teammates.

I believe that many people even forgot the existence of Casillas during the game. Only when they walked down the court after the game, they noticed that Casillas had a grim and expressionless face. Sitting on the bench for 90 minutes.

This is a very cruel thing!

Because Casillas is already the actual captain of Real Madrid, he was put on the bench without injury or illness. This is definitely not a trivial matter. On the contrary, it is a major event.

At the press conference after the game, the reporter chased Yang Cheng and asked why he went to Anthony's house. ． ． Adan? Why not go to Casillas?

"I have the same idea as the team ’s medical team. We all feel that in the current situation of Igor, the best way for the time being is to rest. He himself accepts this proposal, and I always believe that the best San Cassie will definitely come back again! "

Yang Cheng ’s reasons and excuses are perfect and impeccable. Everyone knows that it may be an excuse, but no one can find a handle.

Casillas also knows that this is the way the head coach puts pressure on himself. He is very clear that Real Madrid needs a stable goalkeeper, but whether he is training in the winter break or training, in the next few games , Performance is indeed very unsatisfactory.

He could n’t question Yang Cheng ’s words. He could n’t say that I had no problem, because it meant that he and Yang Cheng were completely upset. This was something he could n’t do, because to be honest, his heart was also very serious. Respect Yang Cheng, respect this head coach who brought him progress and helped him achieve a higher honor.

So he can only accept!

And at the end of the game, when all the players walked back to the locker room, Yang Cheng stayed deliberately waiting for Casillas and said a sentence, "Did you remember everything 9 years ago?"

Yes, Casillas really remembered everything in those days. Some even almost forgot about it himself. Not sitting on the bench, he couldn't get back his thoughts.

Recalling all this, in the end, he remembered what Yang Cheng once said.

"Have you ever doubted and questioned yourself, why do you have everything now?"

Yeah, why?

Back then, why did he depress Igna and firmly occupy the main position?

Is his strength stronger than Ilgener? Or is Igna too weak?

No, because every game and every training, he is always doing his best to do his job, down-to-earth progress, using the performance on the court, using the diligence in training to persuade all teammates, persuade all 'S head coach, persuading people all over the world to make them think that this kid should really start!

In this world, many times, it is not that you have strength, you have talent, it means that you should succeed. On the contrary, there are more talented and talented people, but most of them are not successful. Is it true It ’s just because they are unlucky, so they will not get pregnant?

Suddenly, Casillas understood a little bit. He was 27 years old and knew how to look at and think about issues with a more sensible and mature thinking, so he was met by a familiar reporter after the game When he asked about his replacement, he smiled and said there was no problem.

"Yes, the boss is right, I did encounter some problems recently, and I am adjusting, but I believe that I will soon regain my main position!"

"Antonio is a very promising goalkeeper and a very friendly teammate. There is no problem between him and me. I also hope that all the media should not continue to doubt him and target him because he is on his own. I work hard, rely on my diligence and hard work, and rely on my own strength to get the starting position. I am convinced of this! "

"I will tell Antonio that we are benignly competing, we have no problems, everything is based on the interests of the team, and I think his recent performance and progress are indeed excellent, I will congratulate him!"

As the captain of Real Madrid, Casillas showed his demeanor and did his duty to take care of his teammates.

After hearing this reply from Casillas, Yang Cheng could n’t help but laugh, because at the very least, he saw a stable team captain, a real Santa Cassie, and this also Prove that Casillas has understood where his problem lies.

Sure enough, in the training class on the second day, Casillas came to the team early, greeted Yang Cheng actively, apologized, and also guaranteed that he would adjust his emotions well and would not affect his private life. His performance on the court.

"Now I am attacking Antonio's main position, boss!" Casillas even jokingly said.

However, in the second round of the King's Cup against Mallorca in the middle of the week, Antonio Adan still won the starter. He also helped the team 1-0 at home to win Mallorca, and then a total score of 2: 0 Eliminated Mallorca from the Copa del Rey.

If there is a big upset in the Kings Cup quarterfinals, it must belong to Barcelona.

After crossing the threshold of Atletico Madrid in the round of 16 rounds, they ushered in the Spaniard. In fact, this sign is not bad. The Spaniard's performance this season is not ideal, even not as good as Mallorca. , But Barcelona ’s problem is also more serious.

After a 0-0 draw in the first leg, at the Camp Nou, Barcelona ’s bench problems were exposed. Although Bojan quickly defeated the Spaniard with a score of twice, but soon, Tamudo The two goals helped the Spaniard reverse Barcelona and then eliminated Barcelona from the Copa del Rey.

The same is the substitute lineup, even Real Madrid is a full substitute, Barcelona is a semi-substitute, Mallorca and the Spaniard are also about the same strength, both teams are also trying their best, but Real Madrid finally wins, Barcelona is eliminated, this I have to say that the gap between the two teams' bench is still not small.

However, Real Madrid's King's Cup encounter is not optimistic, because their opponent in the semifinals is Sevilla.

This La Liga team, which has been impossible to make a difference in the league, is now determined to gain something in the King's Cup, which will be a big obstacle for Real Madrid to continue to advance in the King's Cup.

However, due to Barcelona's tight pressure in the league, the team will soon usher in the Champions League knockout, Yang Cheng must be tilted in the game, no matter from which point of view, the King's Cup cannot be the main attack of Real Madrid. Events.

Whether Real Madrid or Yang Cheng, the real goal is the league and the Champions League!
